how will herbs do in this planter

I think as long as they were in the right sun they'd do great. I love how mine worked out last year and look forward to re-planting soon (in Florida).

It really only depends on what plants you intend to grow. The sun requirement is the same as if you planted into the ground. It the plant does well in shade, then that would be OK. The tomatoes and herbs that I have planted over the years, all do better in full sun. If you want to place the planter in a shady area, then find a "shade-loving" plant.

I have used it to dry herbs. YOu don't turn it directly into the sun, just a little off. Don't seal the glass lid shut just rest it on the metal tighteners so that there is air flow. if the herbs aren't dry by dark, just shut the lid and finish the next day. It works really well. Just remember that you don't want it directly in the sun or it will get to hot. You want the temperature around 100 to 120 degrees F., or the essential oils will get cooked out of your herbs.

Yes, I have been using them in both plants and herbs indoor. They work very well. I tend to to be "heavy handed" in the amount sometimes but it doesn't seem to hurt the plants or herbs. I just don't place the spikes right at the stems of the plants.

I don't really know as I'm going to try and put mine in the planters and bring them in when fall comes. I don't want to lose them after getting them started.

Yes it will..I did that to start and put 1 in the pot and then later had to put them in the ground and used 2 for both of those plants. My plants are doing well with these spikes. Good luck. :)

Elizabeth,It really depends on what types of veggies. Lettuce can be left inside, tomatoes if the plants are smaller or you only use two racks (for size). Herbs--definitely. Peppers if the plant is smaller --ok. Mostly it depends on the size of the plants. We are planning on lettuce, herbs, tomatoes, peppers. I would transplant viney plants like squash and pumpkins.

I think they would work for fine for herb plants-especially if you are starting them from seed. Of course as they grow and become root-bound, you would need to go to a larger size pot. You would also need to have some kind of tray under them because of the holes. Hope this answers your question.

If they are larger dry herbs then yes if not you will need to get a herb chopper or grinder.

This planter is very attractive and could work the way you suggested. My installment is permanent because it really is too large to move around filled with material. I placed mine up on blocks to allow for drainage for live perennial plants.

I am using this potting mix to start all my plants this year and the herbs that I will keep in pots on my patio will remain in this mix for the growing season.

Just make sure you follow the recommended watering ..... Also for humidity put a shallow dish with rocks to keep planter out of the water and misting also .....

Yes, keep in mind that if its by a window then you'll have to keep turning the pot. I'll be great as an indoor/outdoor herb garden.

The answers provided are correct. They don't work tho. My herbs died even faster.

These are great for most herb plants. Keep an eye on the roots on the bottom to make sure they're not too cramped.

Ours are filled with potting soil and we put rectangular containers of mints on the bottom shelf. Top planter drains into bottom. We have very strong winds off the ocean and have not had any tipping- we have six planters as a salad/herb garden. This is our 3rd or 4th year and they are like new.

I haven't used this for planting yet but ready many reviews before I ordered and it sounds like the perfect mix for herbs and greens. I plan to use for microgreens and can't wait to get them planted later this month.
